Pasolini and Third World hunger: an approach to Cinema Novo through 'La ricotta'

Among the links between Pier Paolo Pasolini and Brazilian Cinema Novo, one of the most inspiring is the political approach to hunger and consumption. In this text, I analyse this topic to look at how some of the aesthetic ideas in Pasolini’s La ricotta (1963) can also be found in some of the most important films of Cinema Novo. In 'La ricotta' (1963), the irresistible need to eat of a subproletarian interacts and clashes with his responsibilities as an actor in a movie version of the Passion of Christ, so that the film creates a complex network of relations between film shooting, social differences, art, hunger, consumption, time and light, which turns the film set into a space for displaying political relations, differences, exploitation and revolution. The correspondences between these concepts and some aggression techniques of Cinema Novo are numerous and confirm the capacity of Pasolini’s film to project ideas on cinema and politics beyond its particular production context

An eco-feminist perspective on the co-existence of different views of seals in leisure activities

This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Annals of Leisure Research on 15 December 2017, available online: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/11745398.2017.1415152.This study adopts an eco-feminist perspective and investigates leisure activities involving seals occurring in the area of Tromsø, an Arctic town in Norway. The aim is to contribute to the discussion of the existence of various conceptualisations of wild animals, with particular attention to their implications in terms of animal welfare and wellbeing, and the promotion of specific ways we as humans view wild animals and ourselves. The data was collected through promotional material, local media and history literature consultation, and participant observation. The results suggest four co-existing conceptualisations of seals: as part of the local cultural heritage, as prey and pest, as friends and pets, and as entertainers. These conceptualisations are discussed in relation to the components of the leisure experience (entertainment, education, self-identity construction), animal welfare and wellbeing, and the ethical implications of the way the local people perceive the seals and view themselves as humans
